Community Update #17 Time to rest and stay safe and well

Thank you

Thanks to all of our staff for their hard work during this challenging term. Thanks to our parents and carers for their willingness to support the remote learning programme and the adjustments we have made to drop off and pick up times. Most of all, thank you to our children who have shown their resilience and adapted so well to change this term.

We wish every family a safe holiday period and look forward to seeing you all next term. I will share another community update at the end of the holidays to prepare for Term 3.

Another principal morning tea !

Parents & Friends Association Update

Given the uncertainty in relation to health restrictions and impact on planning for events, the P&F have met with Jenny Hawkins to revise our focus for the remainder of the year.

• The P&F priority for the remainder of 2020 will be our support / pastoral function with a focus on supporting PatCare.
• At this stage, we plan to hold future P&F Committee meetings online. The next meeting will be open to all parents/ guardians (as usual), and will be held on Tuesday 21-Jul-2020 at 7.30pm.
• There will be no dedicated events fundraising for the remainder of the year, although we are hoping to facilitate a small number of children-focused events in Term 3 and 4, such as:

Term 3

• Friday 04-Sep: Fathers' / Special Friends' Day stall
• Friday 18-Sep: Football & Fairies Day
• We are also looking to appreciate all Mothers in Term 3

Term 4

• We are looking into ways our children can safely celebrate our Grandparents and other special friends
• Saturday 21-Nov:  School Fete celebrating 'Hooked on a feeling of Hope'
• Grade 6 Graduation celebrations

There will be more information forthcoming in Term 3 - we are really looking forward to supporting our school and community in the second half of the year.

Jenny Jones, Kim Johnston & the committee.
